However, high thermal conductivity is the main obstacle to the application of porous UHTCs. In order to address this problem, herein, a new method combining in-situ reaction and partial sintering has been developed for preparing porous Zr C and Hf C with low conductivity. In this process, porous Zr C and Hf C are directly obtained from ZrO2/C and HfO2/C green bodies without adding any pore-forming agents. The release of reaction gas can not only increase the porosity but also block the shrinkage. The asprepared porous Zr C and Hf C exhibit homogeneous porous microstructure with grain sizes in the range of 300–600 nm and 200–500 nm, high porosity of 68.74% and 77.82%, low room temperature thermal conductivity of 1.12 and 1.01 W·m-1 K-1, and compressive strength of 8.28 and 5.51 MPa, respectively.These features render porous Zr C and Hf C promising as light-weight thermal insulation materials for ultrahigh temperature applications. Furthermore, the feasibility of this method has been demonstrated and porous Nb C, Ta C as well as Ti C have been prepared by this method.展开更多

However, low strength and low porosity are the main limitations of porous UHTCs. To overcome these problems, herein, a new and simple in-situ reaction/partial sintering process has been developed for preparing high strength and high porosity porous YB2C2. In this process, a simple gas-releasing in-situ reaction has been designed, and the formation and escape of gases can block the shrinkage during sintering process, which is favorable to increase the porosity of porous YB2C2. In order to demonstrate the advantages of the new method, porous YB2C2 ceramics have been fabricated from Y2O3, BN and graphite powders for the first time. The as-prepared porous YB2C2 ceramics possess high porosity of 57.17%–75.26% and high compressive strength of 9.32–34.78 MPa.The porosity, sintered density, radical shrinkage and compressive strength of porous YB2C2 ceramics can be controlled simply by changing the green density. Due to utilization of graphite as the carbon source, the porous YB2C2 ceramics show anisotropy in microstructure and mechanical behavior. These features render the porous YB2C2 ceramics promising as a thermal-insulating light-weight component for transpiration cooling system.展开更多
